Space Hero Saturdays SPACE FALCON "Pirates of the Stratosphere"

If you're a Golden Age or sci-fi comics fan, or just following Space Hero Saturdays, you know about SpaceHawk...

...but I seriously doubt you've even heard of Space Falcon!

If you don't know who Space Falcon is, it's quite understandable.

His only, never-reprinted, appearance was in PL Publishing's first and only issue of Captain Rocket (1951)!

In fact, PL was one of the least successful comic publishers in history, lasting less than a year and producing only eight titles, none of which ran more than three issues!
However, the creative who scripted and illustrated this tale, Harry Harrison, is probably better-known to you due to his later literary work: the Stainless Steel Rat novel series and the movie Soylent Green, based on his novel Make Room! Make Room!

Reading Room LOST WORLDS "City That Escaped From Tomorrow"

In the 1950s, the popularity of sci-fi in tv and in movies carried over to comics...

...with a plethora of sci-fi anthology titles from almost every publisher, most of which ran material equal to the bulk of pulp and paperback science fiction of the era.

This never-reprinted tale from Standard's Lost Worlds #5 (1952) was penciled by Ross Andru and inked by Mike Esposito and Jim Mooney.
The writer is unknown.

Monday Madness ATOMIC SPY CASES "Operation H.M."

Think we're paranoid about the (unnamed, but obvious) enemy discovering our atomic secrets?

Look at how nutso we were back in the 1950s!

(BTW, the "Based on TRUE Stories" caption is a total lie!)

The lead story from this Avon Comics 1950 one-shot with a Norman (Mars Attacks) Saunders cover exemplifies the "Russkies/Chinese under the bed" paranoia that's making a comeback today!
Although with Putin going Don da Con-level bonkers...ya never know!
Regrettably, neither the writer nor artist(s) are known.
